I would have died unless the Lord had helped me.
- Psalm 94:17
I can look back over the years and see instance after instance where despite my rebellion and willfulness God's provision and protection kept me. This ability to say I should have died, but God is something I have witnessed in the lives of many in recovery. Yet, we still have a tendency to be afraid to go to Him at times because we feel we do not deserve His help. Our Daddy desires to be our guide and helper. He wants the best for us.
Do not be afraid to surrender to His will and to look to Him for direction. Sometimes we feel like we should do it all on our own. That we have to put forth maximum effort first, and then ask God to take care of the rest. God helps those who help themselves. But that's just not true. God helps those who understand that they can't help themselves. If we will seek Him and His way first, before we fall short, we will be spared so much confusion and struggle. When we acknowledge His right to guide and direct us and His ability to keep us, we don't have to put ourselves in a position of needing to be rescued. Instead of doing our best first, and then asking for Daddy's help and direction, let us remember that the best thing we can do is to totally surrender to His will and care first and foremost in every situation and all our ways.
